Lunakitty has pancreatitis.

We took her to the vet yesterday on a sort of emergency run, but she's probably been suffering for a while. We have to give her subcutaneous liquid, antibiotics, antacids, and some pain killers, which I may forgo depending on how she's acting. She was happy to eat yesterday if she could lick it off my finger, which is a lot better than the disinterest in food she'd had over the last couple days, and she's drinking water now. She's been much more herself today, which is encouraging.

I just wish we'd noticed sooner. I feel so bad about that.

Well, it's good that you noticed at all, take comfort in that. Esp. since some animals are half-dead before they let on something is wrong. :-/

I'm glad she's better. <3

True, they hide things really well. And in this case, it's not unusual for her to curl up somewhere and not emerge all day, so it took us a while to realize that this was different. I'm just glad it's something treatable.
